John and Doves,
Happy New Year to All !

Below is an excellent article showing how Western Europe ---
especially Switzerland--- is letting go of ATM machines and bank tellers. They are quickly moving toward a cashless society with digitized currency held in cyberspace. This takes away our privacy, since every purchase will be tracked.

This is happening without much press release. A person wakes up one day to notice that things are missing.

The Swiss Central Bank pays no interest on your savings, and in fact, charges you "negative interest" for holding your savings.

Switzerland is apparently the showcase for the future of financiers.

On the other hand--for those without bank accounts and who keep money at home, like in India---they devised a disastrous "experiment".

The government of India eliminated the value of their most used bank notes ( made them worthless) and the rural poor people had a limited time to turn in their currency for the New currency and were made to open their first ever bank accounts. People died.

Grocery stores in Europe are becoming more and more self-checkout. Technology is putting a lot of people out of work.

The article has a section on Bitcoin and Blockchain, which is all Greek to me.

The article blames the "Zionist" bankers, but that is not correct in my view. I prefer the term "the elitist cabal" to be blamed for all the factions of Globalism.

The article claims that .01% of the world will be controlling the other 99.9 % and will lead us all into "total enslavement" by the financial institutions, with No Way Out.

It is well worth the read, and shows us how quickly we are advancing towards Revelation 13:16-18.

But wait ! There IS a way out .....

God does not leave us here for when the financial system becomes totally and Globally enclosed. He has promised to keep His own from that particular trial-temptation.

Revelation 3:10 " I will keep you from the hour of temptation
that is coming upon the whole world"

God will bring us home *beforehand*.

1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP
together  with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore COMFORT one another with these words."

1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52
"We shall all be changed... in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye"

Revelation 11:15-18
"and that Thou shouldst give reward unto Thy servants the prophets, *and to the saints*, and them that fear Thy name: small and great"

John 14:1-3
"In My Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN and receive you unto Myself. That where I AM, you may be there also."

Matthew 25:9
"but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves"

( This proves that buying and selling still take place BEFORE the 666 enclosed banking global system is required)

God does not leave as sitting ducks.

Friends, we are closer now to the Rapture than when we first believed. Maranatha !
